Dark Souls Announced!

If you know anything about Demon's Souls, you probably already know that Dark Souls is coming. It was announced a few days ago by Namco Bandai and it certainly looks promising. From Software obviously realized it did great with Demon's Souls, and if you're like me- you're dying to see Dark Souls. Be warned however! This will not be Demon's Souls 2, they made it very clear that Dark Souls will be a spiritual successor rather than a sequel. However the visual style, gameplay, and difficulty will certainly be back..... and improved!

Well let's cut to the chase, what exactly is different?

Difficulty:
-The game will be significantly harder than Demon's Souls
-Dying "hundreds, thousands, even millions of times" is an integral part of the game

Content:

-TONS of gear. Some places have it at 200+ weapons alone

-Weapons will be more unique, and each will offer a different playstyle

-More spells, about 2x the amount that was in Demon's Souls

-Many different enemies and locations to experience

Gameplay:

-Seamless world, no Nexus or Archstones to travel between locations, focus on exploration

-Travel anywhere- if you can see it, you can go there

-No classes (not like they mattered much in Demon's Souls anyway)

-Re-visioned multiplayer element, new co-op system
-Black and Blue phantoms make a return
-So do blood stains and messages
-No. World. Tendency.

Misc:

-Multiplatform! Get it on PS3 and Xbox360.

On the whole, Dark Souls looks extremely promising and will probably be a great hit like Demon's Souls was. Personally I'm going to cross my fingers for a collector's edition or at least a pack like the Black Phantom Edition EU got.

If you haven't seen the trailer already.. What are you waiting for!? Here it is:
